CONTEXT:
In recent years, Washington, DC has been one of the most rapidly gentrifying cities in the nation. The accompanying population growth and real estate development have meant that land and green space are at a premium and will continue to be even more crucial to the health and well-being of the city's residents in the future.
TAKE ACTION:
There are dozens of public and non-profit community gardens throughout the Washington region. These are not only spaces to grow food, but to build positive relationships with neighbors and the land. You can see if a community garden near you has a plot available. Advocate for local policies that support urban agriculture. |
